Sunny's favorite toy as a youngster was a squeaky rubber bumblebee, so I called him Sunnerbee.... and eventually, just Bee.

More recently, Terra is TerraBerra.

Zuppa is ZuppaDuppaPoopaScoopa.... and Souper also becomes SouperDupperPooperScooper.

The best one is little DD... which stands for Devil Dog (daughter Katie named her). Early on she decided that she adored my husband, and before I put in the tall swinging gate to our bedroom, she used to leap over the stationary gate so that she could be in the bedroom with him. So I started playing with her name, and she became DD-DaDa-Do-Do.... and any variation thereof... as long as it had D's in it<G> DD now stands for Dad's Dog<G> I should have placed DD, but she liked my husband too much, and I just couldn't break that up.
